Here's a new one for you, I've been tweaking it for awhile and it now has a place on our family menu - probably my favorite bean recipe so far, really different, really healthy, really easy . . . and amazing flavor - I was afraid I was going to taste away half the pot while cooking!
WEEK 10
Katy's Rustic Bean Soup
2 cans navy beans - drained
2 cans garbonzo beans - drained
2 medium white onions - chopped
2 cloves garlic - chopped
2 Tablespoons fresh Rosemary - chopped
6 cups chicken stock - use vegetable broth if you want to keep it vegan
6 oz fresh baby spinach - (small bag)
salt - to taste
red pepper - to taste
good olive oil
parm cheese if desired
poor some olive oil in your big soup pot, heat over medium then sautee onions until browned, add garlic and rosemary and sautee for 1 more minute. add chicken stock and beans to pot - simmer for about 15 minutes. Now puree completely (I use a hand held submersible, but you can use a blender if you need to - just do it in batches if you go this way). let simmer on low for at least another 15 minutes, then 5 minutes before serving season to taste with salt & red pepper and stir in spinach - stir until wilted.
Top with shredded parm if you like, and if you have nice wide bowls and want a good presentation drizzle with olive oil, serve with crusty bread.
